I am not particularly looking for SSDs - it's just that the product I highlighted cliamed to be SSD based. nor am I biased towards 2.5 external drives - it's capacity I am looking for. I am very old school IT I never have just one backup of anything important.

Well that headline would also be misleading since I was looking for a capacity of at least 5TB if you read my other posts.

external or internal and where

I think the tax free allowance in each country (and the difference therof) may also factor in Moderator Note: the quote is mis-attributed to Mike Lister but is in fact from poster Phulublub.

Thanks for the last two posts but when I say high capacity I mean at least 5TB. As far as I am aware 5TB is the max possible for an external 2.5 HDD (unless you start compressing data and then of course you are not really increasing the HDD capacity just reducing the file sizes). Also as far as I am aware getting bigger than 2TB for SSDs is at the moment possible BUT costs thousands of dollars. So part of the reason for my post was just to check I had not missed some technological advance and if I had not to express concern that the online site allows the sale of product that appears to be tecnologically impossible to achieve.

Didn't Asean give you a DTA exemption?

I find reading all these posts quite "taxing" in themselves

If you look above the picture of the item ........

My Thai girlfriend strongly believes in Buddha but not in temples I agree with her - by all means believe in your chosen God but beware of the institutions man creates in his or her name.

I'm looking for a high capacity external USB 3 HDD so I did a search on a well known online site expecting to pay 3-4K baht The initial search was innudated with offers like the attachment. SSD and 16TB (and I have seen some at 128TB) I suppose these could be low capacity with high compression rates but..... You know what they say if it seems too good to be true then it probably is OR have some advances in HDD tech passed me by?

Been donating to the temples for years now, still not healthy, wealthy, lucky or wise You may not be BUT - but they are!

I said it before - I;ll say it again Crossy. You are a bright sparks

Next Gen My Backup for when the power fails

I like Apple Pie and even more Apple and Blackberry Pie. Haven't liked Apple since the 11e was discontinued - just like I don't like Nanny Governments I don't like Nanny Phone Companies.

I had a friend who was a techie for Cray (GCHQ had one in Cheltenham - top secret then but "de-secretised" in the mid eighties - his major piece of equipment was - a soldering iron!

Thanks Mike my will situation UK and Thai is covered I had started the idea of a Joint account (either or) before all this palava started so that I could transfer money to Thailand and it would be easy for my gf to access on my demuse. Now I think I might have to rethink it all. I understand yhe pressure you are under so I will not bother you again about inheritance.

Sorry for not being clear - any account I open would be an either/or signatory -is that not an option within the joint account process or do I need to ask for a special type of account. Also with regard to the inheritance there are at least two scenarios: Foreigner dies abroad leaves assets to another foreigner in Thailand (my solution - if possible and amount warrants - get out of country for the requsite number of days!) Foreigner dies whilst in Thailand with assets abroad willed to Thai a) wife b)gf You have my deepest sympathy Mike - this subject is like Japanese Knotweed - it keeps growing and growing!

From time to time I find Hadock (and Cod) in Macro - it is hit and miss but if you buy a lot might be worth talking to them.

Useful to know for me too Also I am about to open a joint bank account with my gf (to make access to Thai funds easier if I pop off suddenly). How does the new scenario impact on that?

If it helps anyone: 1. Here's a PDF of the example tax return form 2 I Is attachment 2 just a case of forms not catching up with the new scenario Example Form.pdf

She's not trying to tell you something?

Thank you but it was a rhetorical question

I just want to make one point: This is a forum a place for discussion it is not a consultancy - a place for advice - information posted here is just that provided in good faith but not 100% guaranteed for accuracy. I for one would like to say a huge thanks to Mike and others for hours of effort that must have gone into this thread trying to help others understand a complex issue. We read the information here act on it or not BUT in the end whatever we do with it is our own responsibility.

Very sad for the girl BUT how many didn't die because they had the vaccine?
